SPF: the best "green" products for summer 2021
With natural and organic ingredients, these are the latest trend in the skincare world

Sea, the scent of the sea. Have you ever thought that, with each bath, you disperse a little SPF cream in the water? This is why it is very important to choose ecological and biodegradable formulas which, if dispersed in the environment, decompose by bacteria or other microorganisms into less polluting compounds, significantly reducing the impact on the environment. The problem of plastic in the sea, in fact, is not the only one to ruin the oceans and everything that lives in them; to damage the health of the seas, including corals, there are also some ingredients present in sunscreens. The issue of environmental sustainability is in fact strongly felt by cosmetic companies, which in the last period have been launching biodegradable products and zero waste, that is, little or no polluting at all.
But how to understand if, unlike classic products, the protective efficacy remains the same? The main difference between the two categories lies precisely in the INCI, or the list of ingredients: the "green" ones, in fact, contain natural ingredients coming from organic farming and often use renewable and ocean friendly resources, also for the realization of the packs, that is, respectful of the environment. And what about the filters? In green formulations, physical (and non-chemical) filters and microencapsulated filters of plant origin are preferred, which guarantee long-lasting and effective protection during sun exposure. In short, nothing to worry about! Eco-sustainable sun creams are the perfect solution to protect not only our skin from the sun, but also to protect the sea.
